Ecclesiastes 5:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The produce of the earth is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
In context
7 For as many dreams bring futility, so do many words. Therefore, fear God.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor and the denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be astonished at the matter; for one official is watched by a superior, and others higher still are over them.
9 The produce of the earth is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
10 He who loves money is never satisfied by money, and he who loves wealth is never satisfied by income. This too is futile.
11 When good things increase, so do those who consume them; what then is the profit to the owner, except to behold them with his eyes?
